Variety of houses and animals - We have visited Bunratty over the decades, and we've loved the addition of so many animals, Irish wolfhounds, goats, pigs, as well as so many types of houses. Wonderful castle, and friendly and accommodating staff. Durty Nelly's is the place to visit prior to entry.

Wonderful place with wonderful staff! - Everyone at the park was so kind and engaging as we took in the park. There were people singing, playing instruments, blacksmithing, woodworking, and more! I talked to a woman about knitting and yarn for quite some time, and another gentleman about one of the mills on property. The shops were a great opportunity to pick up a few souvenirs of our trip, and the artisans were all very willing to talk and answer questions. I loved every minute!

Great experience - castle was fun but what made it better was the entire village and it and the people working there. We had few drinks at the pub and enjoyed walking around.

Enchanting - It was a softly rainy day that added to the experience. I loved the animals and the enchantment of everything! I will be dreaming about this until I’m dead and gone. Great!!

Worth seeing and interesting - The park is almost a must-see for travellers to Ireland who still want to learn about the history of Ireland. There are houses that are still present in the origin. Some of the houses still have people in their clothes telling the story of the house. Also a street with a doctor's house and then facility, a school, a pawn shop etc. The castle built to the heights has 3 floors which are very interesting and steeped in history. The park is also interesting for children. There is a fairy trail and some live animals to see.

Very beautiful castle - Buntatty Castle and Folk Park are located in Buntatty, a town located to the South of Galway, in Western Ireland. We came here to do the Medieval Banquet and before we walked around the Folk Park and saw the castle, which was very nice. The castle was built in the 15th century and nowadays, you can see all the main castle. A very beautiful and romantic place. (See also Buntatty Castle Medieval Blanket)

Cool castle. - It was cool looking castle and with a folk village surrounding it. Lots to learn and do. The one staff member I interacted with wasn’t the friendliest and that’s why it not getting five stars.
